Xia Wenxi's eyes widened immediately.

"You're... proposing?"

Lin Shen opened the ring box and smiled as he said to Xia Wenxi, "I had rehearsed proposing to you many times in my mind..."

Xia Wenxi smiled awkwardly. She didn't expect her to beat her to it, did she? She understood. If she had rehearsed many times but still hadn't been able to use it, she would also feel frustrated.

Lin Shen continued speaking.

“I never imagined a scenario like this, but life is full of surprises, so this is probably not a proposal scenario.”

"Huh? What's that?"

"It's the scene where you ask Miss Xia Wenxi to put the ring on your finger. Others do these two things in the same scene, but we did them separately, one for you and one for me."

Xia Wenxi extended her right hand directly, "I do."

"Thank you for your willingness, Xiaoxi."

Lin Shen took out the ring and carefully slipped it onto Xia Wenxi's ring finger.

"You're welcome. Get up now. I thought I'd never get a chance to say that classic three-word line."

As soon as Xia Wenxi finished speaking, a round of applause suddenly rang out behind her.

She was still holding flowers in her hands. She turned around with difficulty and saw four people clapping behind her.

Xia Wenxi looked at Lin Shen, "Did you tell them in advance?"

Lin Shen shook his head and said no.

Xia Wenxi saw that Lin Shen's face was red and realized that it was definitely not him, but seeing Lin Shen blush was a novel thing.

She teased Lin Shen deliberately, "You've put a ring on my finger, what about yours? Or do I have to buy a men's ring?"

"No, I'm ready."

Lin Shen pulled the ring directly from his pocket; this time, there was no box.

He glanced at the "onlookers" behind him and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

However, Xia Wenxi wasn't shy in front of her family. She picked up the ring and said loudly, "Mr. Lin Shen, are you willing to let Miss Xia Wenxi put this ring on your finger?"

"I do."

Applause erupted again, this time even from photographers.

Xia Wensheng, a business photographer.

Xia Wenxi didn't believe in his skills. Holding the flowers, she linked her arm with Lin Shen's and said to Ming Huan, "Sister-in-law, take pictures for us."

"good."

Minghuan took out her phone, and Xia Wensheng automatically gave way.

...

"Okay, I'll send you the photos later."

"Okay. Let's have someone take a picture of our whole family, all six of us."

After taking the photos, everyone went home together. As soon as Lin Shen entered the house, Xia Hengyuan and Ke Shurong called him upstairs.

After Xia Wenxi sat down on the sofa, the first thing she did was take off the ring she had just put on and look at it again. She had seen some words on it, but she couldn't make out what they were.

Seeing her carefree attitude, Xia Wensheng couldn't help but tease her: "When Lin Shen was called up by your parents, aren't you curious about what they were going to say?"

"Just ask him when he comes down. Lin Shen isn't some blond kid, and Mom and Dad won't beat him up."

Xia Wenxi finished speaking casually, then looked down at the ring.

The ring is engraved with two Chinese characters – “深和溪” (Shen He Xi) – and a string of English letters.

Good Morning

Xia Wenxi took off the ring Lin Shen had given her last time from her middle finger, put the two rings together, and took a picture.

Last time, the ring was engraved with "Good Night".

Seeing her action, Xia Wensheng curiously leaned closer and said, "Let me see."

Xia Wenxi quickly put the ring away, "I won't show it to you."

"mean."

"Just check my WeChat Moments later."

She put the ring back on her ring finger, looked at the ring from last time, thought for a moment, and then put it back on her middle finger, even though it looked a little strange.

She plans to find a chain and string the two pieces together to make a necklace.

She opened her phone again to look at the photos Minghuan had just sent.

"Sister-in-law, your photography skills are amazing."

In the photo, both of them are smiling, and although their smiles are a little silly, they definitely look very happy.

"You two are both good-looking, you'll take great photos no matter what."

"That's not necessarily true. What if my brother is in charge of filming..."

Upon hearing this, Minghuan glanced at her husband and then said firmly, "He's different. When it comes to taking photos, he doesn't belong to the human category."

After seeing the photos Xia Wensheng took of her during their previous trip, Minghuan decided to permanently revoke his right to take photos.

While they were talking, the three people who had gone upstairs came down.

Lin Shen walked behind Xia Hengyuan and Ke Shurong. Xia Wenxi looked at the three of them and couldn't tell what they had just said.

It wasn't until after lunch, when the two were alone, that Xia Wenxi had a chance to ask.

What did my parents say to you?

"My aunt and uncle said that Xiaoxi is a treasure and that I should treat her well."

Lin Shen lifted Xia Wenxi up by the waist and placed her on his lap.

"Tsk tsk, it's really different when you're about to be officially hired. This is still in my house, and you dare to be so presumptuous? You only said one sentence, is that possible?"

The two are currently staying in Xia Wenxi's room.

"He also asked about my future plans and Lin Shuyu's situation. I called him yesterday afternoon and told him about it."

"Hmm, did he say anything?"

He said he would let me know when the wedding was about to take place, and he would come to attend.

Xia Wenxi nodded and asked Lin Shen, "Should I go and pay him a visit...?"

Xia Wenxi originally wanted to say "your dad", but Lin Shen always called her by her first name, so Xia Wenxi felt that it was not appropriate to call her by any name, and could only leave it at that.

"No, he doesn't really want to see me."

Lin Shen chuckled as he said this, seemingly speechless.

“He felt that my decision to have him sterilized damaged his dignity as a man. He felt that my older brothers and I, being men, did not understand him.”

Xia Wenxi: ...

She decided to change the subject.

Xia Wenxi held out her hand, revealing the ring. "Last time it was 'goodnight,' this time it's 'good morning.' Mr. Lin has a very thoughtful touch."

Lin Shen didn't explain his design ideas, because it was obvious without him saying it.

Lin Shen gently stroked the ring on Xia Wenxi's hand. "Do you like it?"

“I love it! And this one you gave me before, I plan to wear it as a necklace, otherwise it would look a bit strange to wear diamond rings on both my middle and ring fingers at the same time.”

"Okay, actually, it's fine to put the previous one away too."

"No, we should say good morning and good night to each other."

Xia Wenxi suddenly remembered something important, put her arms around Lin Shen's neck, and asked him, "If we get our marriage certificate, we'll be husband and wife, so we'll have to live together, right?"

Because the incident happened so suddenly, the house they had bought was not yet renovated.

Lin Shen was certain that they would live together; since they were married, of course they should live together.

“If you have classes, I’ll live with you at the school. During holidays, you can come to my place or stay here, it’s fine either way. I’ll find someone to renovate the house we bought as soon as possible.”

"Hehe, we're like... a rabbit with three burrows?"
